hybrid

A hybrid vehicle is one that uses two or more distinct types of power, such as submarines that use diesel when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids.
Hybrid powertrains are designed to switch from one power source to another to maximize both fuel efficiency and energy efficiency. In hybrid electric vehicles, for instance, the electric motor is more efficient at producing torque, or turning power, while the combustion engine is better for maintaining high speed. Improved efficiency, lower emissions, and reduced running costs relative to non-hybrid vehicles are three primary benefits of hybridization.

    What's this symbol?

    Re 2022 MG HS This symbol has appeared today - top left of photo. A white disc surrounded by a red circle. There's no reference to it in the owners manual. Any ideas what it means? Thanks

    SOC Level

    Not happy that when you select EV mode it keeps dropping back to Auto. Yes I understand parameters must be met in EV mode, but why doesn't it revert to EV automatically? So thinking of a work around, does anyone know what code in the EMS sets the 50% SOC level in auto mode? Thinking this could...

    My new MG3 Hybrid

    I took delivery of a new MG3 Hybrid Trophy in Battersea blue on Friday last week 3rd May. This is my daily runabout and replaced a 3dr DS3 which I had from new for just over six years.

    Record high MPG - can anyone beat this!

    HI, I'm a new PHEV owner. Did a mixed drive (town traffic/highway) on pure EV mode and the MPG just kept going up and up and up! Ended up on 562 MPG - it refused to go higher so maybe that's the upper limit on the counter. Either that or the car is faulty :) Has anyone ever hit these levels?

    First Service

    Just had the first 12 month service done on my Phev. It was cheaper than I thought $417.30 NZD. They gave me a 2023 Mg ZSev as a loan car. Differences between the HS phev and the ZSEv I noticed were. My 2023 HS Phev has a lot more room inside and was more comfortable. The ZSev was touchy on the...

    Vibration in throttle pedal

    Hi All - from new, my HS Phev has an annoying vibration in the throttle pedal when the ICE runs. Is this common for this vehicle or does anyone else experience this? (it almost feels like a poor engine mount) Thanks.

    Portable petrol generator to make it into a plug in hybrid

    I remember the BMW I3 had a little tiny lawn mower engine to charge the battery. As a range extender just to have that option. I know it would be extremely slow just like a granny charger you would have to leave it on over night. It would be great to have that option something like this
